Comments: They have what I consider to be the best cinnamon rolls in Charlotte. I suggest getting two, eat one right away, and save the other for eating at home after warming it up. As a general rule, I’d encourage you to refrain from offering your opinion about a cinnamon roll until you’ve had it both cold and warm. Things can taste rather different heated up, flavors coming out, for better or worse.

As for the space itself, there's plenty of seating here, and good access to outlets, so it's a great place to study or work remotely. Lots of seating by windows as well if you like gazing out at the world while you hang out. Airy space, doesn't feel cramped at all, and the orange/yellow aesthetic makes it feel bright and warm, that alongside the tall windows. They have food as well as coffee, tea, and all sorts of non cinnamon roll pastries. It's all very expensive though, so maybe don't come here on a budget.

Parking is free on the street, and validated for 90 minutes if you park in the nearby garage shared by an apartment complex. I'd try to get street parking, I hate having to give Parking companies all my personal data for what should be an ephemeral transaction. Why do you need my name and phone number and address for me to park here for a few minutes. And why do you then take that data and sell it to advertisers. Data privacy is a must my friends.
